I have severe crohns disease 5 bowl re-sections to date. I have been on stellara for one year now and thankfully has my disease under control. Unfortunatly I now have a joint disease in my ankles and find it difficult to walk, my doctor has not put me on 40mg of humira every two weeks for RA how long will it take to make my joints feel better so that I can walk again?

It worked pretty quickly for me, 2-4 weeks but sometimes can take up to 3 months. Clemmie

edieweedie, idea only - I read a long whilst ago that taking vitamin D3 can turn around Crohns, not sure if it works, but might be an idea to check it out/Google Crohns and vitamin D together.

Vitamin D3 is an anti inflamatory.

This site is good for most things on vitamin D and gives info on safe doses of vitaminD3.

vitamindcouncil.com

In the search box type in Crohns.

I have not heard of Digestzen, I'll take a look, I have heard bone broth is good for Gut healing.

Thanks for that tip 19northside2, I see Digestzen is a natural help/healer. Naturals are best.

Will take a look on amazon too. :)
